On the night of June 1, 2014, Ahmed Said, 27, and his friend Dwone Anderson-Young, 23, were shot and killed in Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood after leaving a gay bar on Capitol Hill with a man they had just met. Both victims were killed in what investigators described as execution-style shootings near Anderson-Young’s home. Said’s car was taken after the murders and later recovered abandoned.

Investigators focused on Ali Muhammad Brown as the primary suspect. They believe he used a social networking app popular with gay men to meet Said and Anderson-Young. Brown left the Pacific Northwest days after the Seattle killings, committed at least one other murder in New Jersey, and was later arrested there. During interviews, he reportedly said he was motivated by anger at U.S. foreign policy and admitted to targeting Said and Anderson-Young because they were gay; prosecutors described the attacks as jihad-inspired and charged them as hate crimes.

Are there details about Ahmed’s evening, his movements before leaving the bar, or anyone who saw the group that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
